Framework Contract for Hospital Stationery Items by Social Security Teaching Hospital Lahore

Social Security Teaching Hospital, Multan Road, Lahore, Punjab has invited sealed e-bids for a Framework Contract for the supply of Hospital Stationery Items for the Financial Year 2026-27. The procurement is being conducted through the Punjab e-Procurement System under the Single Stage Two Envelope procedure as per PPRA Rules 2014. The total estimated cost of the contract is stated as PKR 80,000,00 on FOR (Free on Road) basis, with delivery required directly to the consignee end at the hospital in Lahore. This is a framework/rate contract arrangement meant to cover the hospital's stationery requirements for the coming financial year.

Eligible participants include financially sound manufacturers, authorized distributors and importers who are registered with income tax and sales tax authorities and registered on the Punjab e-Procurement System as required by PPRA Punjab. Bidders must demonstrate established financial, technical and managerial credentials. Bid security equal to 2 percent of the estimated price must be submitted electronically along with the technical and financial bids, and the successful bidder will be required to furnish performance security equal to 5 percent of the contract amount before contract execution.

Bidding documents including terms and conditions, quantities, instructions and specifications can be downloaded from the PESSI and PPRA websites. Interested bidders must upload their readable scanned e-bids, including bid security, on the Punjab e-Procurement System by 06.08.2026 at 11:00 AM, and bidders are also required to mark attendance in the Conference Room of the hospital at the same time. Bids will be opened on the same day at 11:30 AM. Offers submitted without bid security, received late, unsigned, ambiguous, conditional, sent by telegram, or with shorter validity than required will not be considered. Further details are available from the Medical Superintendent's office at the hospital.

This is a routine annual framework/rate contract for hospital stationery, a low-complexity, recurring procurement category attractive to small and medium stationery suppliers and distributors rather than large manufacturers. The compressed same-day timeline for bid submission and opening (11:00 AM to 11:30 AM) is unusually tight and suggests bidders should prepare documentation well in advance. The stated estimated cost figure appears to have a formatting inconsistency and should be verified directly from the official bidding documents before pricing a bid.

Who can bid: Bidders must be financially sound manufacturers, authorized distributors or importers registered for income tax and sales tax, and registered on the Punjab e-Procurement System per PPRA rules. Typically, NTN, GST registration, PPRA/e-Procurement registration, and bid security submission are required for this stationery supply category.
